Western art has evolved through a wide, range of styles, each characterized by its own unique philosophy and masterpieces. This series is a visual tribute to these formative movements in Western art and the artists and forces that created them. An elegant style characterized by ornamental, sinuous lines, Art Nouveau created a unity between the fine arts, the applied arts, architecture, and decoration of all types. Here is a stunning visual celebration of the art and artists of this movement.

Van Gogh in Saint-Remy and Auvers is the sequel to the highly acclaimed exhibition catalogue Van Gogh in Arles. The seventy paintings, eighteen drawings, and one etching selected for the present volume--drawn from public and private collections throughout Europe, the United States, and Asia for exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art--include some of Vincent van Gogh's most famous images. Remarkable for their intensity and clarity of expression, they trace the development of van Gogh as an artist from May 1889, when he left Arles for a private asylum in Saint-Remy-de-Provence, some fifteen miles northeast of Arles, to his death in Auvers-sur-Oise, near Paris, in July 1890.

Bevlogen verzamelaars hebben altijd op mijn grote sympathie kunnen rekenen. Ze zijn het zout in de pap. Bovendien spelen ze een belangrijke rol in de ontwikkelingen binnen het kunstklimaat. Extreem gezegd: zonder verzamelaars is er geen bloeiend kunstleven mogelijk. Ir. Poort behoort tot die bijzondere categorie verzamelaars. Zijn bevlogenheid gaat uit naar H.W. Mesdag.

Schets van de ontwikkeling van Laren van ± 1860 tot heden, met de nadruk op het ontstaan van de schilderskolonie in het Gooise boerendorp, de internationaal bekende "Larense school" en uiteindelijk de stichting van het Singer museum. Het ruim geillustreerde, goed verzorgde boek komt uit ter gelegenheid van een gelijknamige tentoonstelling in het Singermuseum, maar het is geen catalogus en is zelfstandig bruikbaar. De geschiedenis van Laren hangt nauw samen met die van het logement "De vergulde postwagen" en de invloed van de organisatorisch en bestuurlijk bekwame logementhouder-hotelier Jan Hamdorff. De beschrijving van de opvolgende episoden is verweven met de biografieen van meer dan 30 belangrijke en ondergeschiktere schilders die de grondleggers Mauve, Neuhuys en Kever volgden. De verwantschap met de "Haagse school" en de "Amsterdamse" (Breitner) wordt wel aangegeven, maar er wordt niet diep ingegaan op schilderkunstige of stijlkritische problemen.

In February 2005, Christo and Jeanne-Claude will complete a monumental work of art in New York City's Central Park. The project, first conceived in 1979, will feature 7500 16-foot-high vinyl gates lining the park's paths, from which will hang saffron-colored fabric panels. Seen from the buildings surrounding the park, The Gates will look like a golden, flowing river, while those walking through them will experience the ambience of a fluid, golden ceiling. The temporary work of art will remain in place for 16 days, after which it will be disassembled and the materials recycled. The installation will be free for all visitors, who can continue to use Central Park undisturbed during the whole process. This historic event is intended to provide a memorable and joyous experience for every New Yorker, and TASCHEN will document this project from start to finish in two editions.
